The news just gets worse and worse for Alec, ... not that he’ll get any punishment.
The armorer will be arrested and charged with murder.
where is Rod Serling
when we need him?
Call me a conspiracy theorist, but union workers walk off set due to complaints about conditons and are replaced on the morning of the incident. Is it possible a disgruntled union worker placed a live round in the gun to possibly show the non-union replacements as incompetent when the gun goes off? Probably not expecting it would not be aimed at someone, but just to startle the cast and directors. Just throwing out theories.
He was being his arrogant self and murdered a young woman.
Lock him up.
A prop gun misfire does not amount to a bullet in the belly of a cinema photog.
Lock that bastard up.
I cannot understand why real guns with blanks are EVER used on movie sets. They can fake anything in the movies, so why not make fake guns and add sound with editing?
Baldwin was the Producer so is on the hook as the person who has ultimate “The buck stops here” responsibility for what went on in this movie production. There is no way he can escape that.
The actor/actress” are not gun experts and are not expected to be one as far as checking the weapon themselves. The person who hands the gun to the actor is supposed to be the “expert” and have done all necessity and required safety checks. That individual is on the hook criminally and for any civil actions.
So Alex’s was number 4 accident…… you have got to be kidding me! If true you have to have a complete re-think about Libs caring for human life. Explains why people walked off the set. Also replacing them with ‘locals’ right off the bat also speaks volumes about the producers’ values and concerns. The court trial is going to be very interesting with just the news released so far.

He’s the producer, he’s 100% responsible for happens on that set. If the union walked off the set because of safety issues and he said to hell with it and continued the shoot without addressing those safety issues, he can kiss his career and money goodbye and I don’t doubt that’s exactly what happened considering his extreme arrogance and ego.
Kyle Rittenhouse ain’t got nothin on Alec Baldwin.
There is a reason children and liberal idiots shouldn’t play with guns. It’s the same reason that children and liberal idiots shouldn’t be allowed to tell intelligent adults what to do with guns.
Appears that many safety protocols were not followed at this set. The loader certainly the most flagrant violator, but all the way down to the shooter.
Why would he aim it at somebody and pull the trigger? This was no accident
Two rounds accidentally? You’d think the first big unexpected BANG would have interrupted the second simply for being so startling.
How can grown men, relatively old men, not understand elementary gun safety, including the need to check to see if a gun is loaded?
I learned this stuff before I was a 10 year old girl.
I get that some people were not raised around guns, but when your job requires that you use guns, it’s on you to educate yourself.
You would think that after several live rounds were discharged by mistake that EVERYONE on the set who had to deal with firearms would have triple or quadruple checked the guns before use (including the actors). The fact that this didn’t happen is gross negligence on everyone’s part.
Geez... do these folks KNOW ANYTHING about guns?
